I just dug them out and there's a dozen. They have the crimped on tips and very bright green plastic vanes.
They are now in the "pack pile" that is, slowly, growing in the basement.  :)

Thats awesome David! You can camp down with us if you want. Free camping.
But I'm just glad you are going to make it this year!

I can bring some secondaries too. If the niece is trustworthy/old enough, we could make some real arras from those shafts.

Yeah I did that with the first dozen Mike and they worked well .

It's likely the TXV Patrick. It's one of the new type HP systems and there may be some crud restricting the orifice. Parts are on order...  ::) but the "good" news is it's still under warranty.

Dave was sooooo bummed out last year when there were 3-4 earlier-than-he last year!
